Grapes of Wrath - February 27th, 2007 at 04:50 AM
Ok...this is my story and I'm stuck with it. I planted two Thompson Seedless Grape plants two summers ago. They are probably in the best soil in my yard, but that isn't saying much. They are in shade in the morning and sunlight all afternoon. Last year I had my first big "crop" of grapes. (By big, I mean, I had about 20 bunches...lol) They looked beautiful though...until just about large and ripe enough. One day I checked them for ripeness, the next day some were turning into raisins! They NEVER turned sweet. I would like to head off the problem this year with some good advice. Can anyone help me?
